Parent Workshop
Mathematics
Aims:
- To demonstrate how we teach
Mathematics in Year 3 to Year 6.
- To allow time for you to become
familiar with the different methods
for each operation.
- To have a list of useful website links
that could be used at home.
The ‘Mathematics’ lesson at
Kingsholm
In Year 3 to Year 6 we teach Mathematics for one hour from
11 – 12. For the first 15 minutes we practise key arithmetic
skills (mental and written). We call this Ready Steady Maths.
For the next 45 minutes we teach age related objectives in
short blocks that could last a couple of weeks.
Do it – Apply it – Solve it
Home Learning – Maths in context, multiplication
facts and mathletics.
• If a child has struggled to meet the
objective during the morning session
they are given the opportunity to
receive additional support in the
afternoon. (20 minutes)
• If a child is not ready to move on to the
next calculation method they will
complete work at the level they need.
